Exploited or Entrepreneurs? $108.98 Home-based workers are an ever increasing proportion of the Australian clothing industry’s workforce. With decreasing tariff protections and increasing cheap imports of apparel into Australia, home-based workers offer both competitive labour costs, but most importantly, quick turnaround times. The media and many academic studies, focus on this supply-side story of how home-based workers underpin a fundamentally transforming industry. This book turns our attention to the lives of the (mostly) migrant women who perform this work. Focusing on a newly collectivising group of women entrepreneurs and employees who do industrial sewing in their homes, this study documents a progressive policy shift that occurred in Sydney, Australia. The work grapples with the complexities of mounting a case for state endorsed minimum wage and condition protections without an over-reliance on victimhood storylines. This analysis sheds light on a usually invisible subject, the home-based worker, and should be of interest to those organising in the industry, feminist scholars, and industry policy analysts. |

Entrepreneurs in High Technology $4.98 The ingredients for success in starting and developing a technology-based company aren’t obvious. Why, for example, did Digital Equipment Corporation succeed–and indeed become one of the most successful high-tech corporations in the world–while dozens of other companies with similar beginnings fail? It is a question that demands careful consideration by anyone setting up a new company or who is interested in starting one. In Entrepreneurs in High Technology, Edward Roberts, a Professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management, offers entrepreneurs a goldmine of information on starting, financing, and expanding a high-tech firm. His book reveals the results of research conducted over twenty-five years on several hundred high-tech firms, and it reflects the insights of the author’s own first-hand experience as a company founder, director, and venture capitalist. Focusing on firms in the Greater Boston area–many of which have had technological links with MIT–Roberts traces the origins and the evolution of the high-technology failures and successes. He examines the work experience and family backgrounds of successful technical entrepreneurs, their sources of funding, and the ways they respond to the challenge of business growth. He compares the track records of firms with multi-founder teams and firms with individual founders, contrasts the performance of consulting firms and research-and-development contractors against companies that start out with a product, identifies the factors that limit an enterprise’s ability to raise outside capital, and explores the critical influence of marketing orientation on successful companies. In a penetrating analysis of highly successful ventures, the author reveals the importance of strategically transforming the company to a market-oriented focus, and he examines the widespread tendency, even among the most successful high-tech firms, to displace the founder before the company achieves "super-success." For anyone planning to start a technology-based enterprise, Entrepreneurs in High Technology is essential reading–an invaluable preview of the financial, organizational, and marketing issues that confront every new high-tech venture. For business and technology watchers, it is an informative account of the promise and the perils entailed in bringing innovative ideas to the marketplace. |

Mobile Chinese Entrepreneurs $125.98 Mobile Chinese Entrepreneurs draws extensively on the narratives of sixteen small-to-medium business owners, born on the mainland, who have immigrated to Hong Kong and returned to their ancestral hometowns in China to establish their enterprises. For these executives, business and social life alike are marked by constant interplay of identities, such as individual identity/group membership and ancestral/immigrant identity. Yet as often as this juggling of multiple "selves" can be beneficial in the economic sphere, it can also lead to feelings of rootlessness and alienation. Writing with rare sensitivity, the two authors synthesize insights from economic sociology, psychology, ethnic relations, emotions, and social networks, creating an exploration of social capital and social identity comparable to similar groups of businessmen and -women in other parts of the world. |

Asymmetric Warfare for Entrepreneurs $17.48 Asymmetric Warfare for Entrepreneurs is a deconstruction and adaptation of TE Lawrence’s epic account of the Arab Revolt. The conflict was a side theatre of World War I which pitted the British Imperial might against Ottoman dominance in the Middle East.Lawrence was one of the great military thinkers and adventurers of history and the insights we can take from his philosophy of war are directly applicable to the world of business, marketing and leadership. In the Seven Pillars of Wisdom, Lawrence presents his own formula for fighting which enables an impoverished and disparate guerrilla force to outmanoeuvre and overcome a far larger, well-resourced and more organised enemy. In doing this he initiates and directs the world’s first modern insurgency war, presenting a model that has been replicated by revolutionaries and counter-insurgency movements ever since.Each lesson in this book provides platforms and guidance for defeating competition, getting the best out of people, forging stronger relationships and becoming more creative, emotionally intelligent and focussed. The book also draws on psychological techniques and principles from neuro-linguistic programming to improve interpersonal communication and team spirit. This is further developed with inspiration and stories from other great thinkers and business leaders who themselves have struggled and succeeded against the odds in creating winning businesses. |
